Hi guys: Question: Is there an ERC search on the Draft Center? Also, what is OL on the salaries mean? How (especially for pitchers) do you figure out the salary?

I realize I am new, but the idea of playing detective and using mathematical formulas to discover the true identity of a prospect, or changing the name of players, is silly and counterproductive. I'm guessing the formulas replace real life scouting. I have one guy BEGGING me-2 trade offers-for a SS prospect. The only 2 guys with A-D- rating are Woody English & Ernie Banks! The power rating is 2, so I don't think I just walked into Wrigley Field! I would love to know who I have. I have to say the AAA stuff is the most annoying part of SIM thus far.

What is the criteria used for determining whether a player is available for being a choose-your-own AAA player? I thought it would just be salary, but it seems a lot of players with very good rate stats and small numbers of PA or IP are not available, even if they are in the salary range allowed.
